When I was in Manaus, Brasil many years ago, the entire floor was covered with poisonous liquids... Eventually we found the big 200 L barrel which had emptied. Who would emptied that barrel, and why?! Well, the answer was underneath. The entire bottom had been perforated by some notoriuous beetle larvae eating the low polymer plastics of the barrel. It had the beautiful winding pattern you may see on murky wood at times.
Guess if that 1 cm larva got a surprise trying to drink 200 L of poisonous fluids...
I just wait for that beast to get slahsdotted, any minute now. Wait, they didn't run the web server on that one, did they? High energy accelerator research... Hrrmmmppff..
From that enthusiastic report I gather they will receive the Nobel Prize eventually. I think the man who wrote a groundbreaking chemist program in the 1960's also received the prize some years ago. Wake up, hackers, there is still hope.
"Yet another entire biota was wiped out by the pyramidal prions. Earlier this week we could see how Puerto Rican biota was wiped out by the ever growing pyramidal prions. The island state was literally covered with small, inch high grey pyramids. The US Government now fears the pandemic will spread onto mainland US and has banned all border crossing, in or out, and the import of any organic matter. It is believed that once the pyramidal prions enters living tissue it starts replicating itself and in a matter of days have consumed its helpless victim."
"Many local big-box stores say they haven't gotten any new consoles since the product's Nov. 22 launch, and some have gotten just one or two. The Target in Germantown got four units Monday night and sold them almost immediately. As of yesterday afternoon, Web stores Amazon.com, ToysRUs.com, EBGames.com, CircuitCity.com and WalMart.com were all sold out, with no indication of when the new game console would be available again.
Microsoft won't pin the shortage on any one part or manufacturer, so game fans and Wall Street analysts don't really know if this is planned hype or a major screw-up or what. This is what is known: The company shipped 300,000 to 400,000 units Nov. 22 -- and after that, very few. The company says more are coming, but nobody knows for sure."
WTF?! Sending an expedition to Mars, to find water (supposedly with the correct equipment to do so), and then come up with that, erm, statement. As an armchair astronomer, I find that a bit weak.

Is that a coincidence?

I think you are a bit dim. Please be more clear.
A very nice pdf article which shows why high precision is needed - for precision AND repeatability: Using accurate arithmetics to improve numerical reproducibility and stability in parallel applications.

That sounds weird. Fish and milk?
A Roger Dean map/landscape would be sooo cool!!!
Anything above 600$ will hurt, as my wife would try to kill me...
I think he is dead serious. It IS a wet dream for any police station. "Hey guys! C'mon! Look at this!"
Unexpected admission by top Microsoft boss about Playstation 3: "They'll launch, let's face it. They'll launch and it'll be very successful."

Well, as the article states "it has yet to pass the most crucial test - how to account for the afterglow of the big bang".
So, it won't be the theory you are after until some more time.
No, it's a case of "The Nuts and Volts of News for Nerds"
I know of some types of screwdrivers - Straight, Phillips, Allen, Torex, and Square. Are there more?
They should use a new name. Something like "viiv", where "vi" would be "6" and "iv" could be "4" adding up to "64" which could indicate a 64-bit CPU.
Viva El VIIV!

One thing is sure if it continues like this, the XBox 360 won't be among the history's popular games.

Sannolikt alla dessa icke språkkunniga folken som strövar över vidderna därute.
This may not be about the GPL, but rather about patents. Reading the article:
"if Oracle holds patents or licenses for the underlying technology such as algorithms or file structures, "then that could get quite interesting,"
The article summarizes: "Quite simply this is the card I would like to put in my MediaPC".
